About Export in 3D XML

To export 3D Tolerancing & Annotation features to 3D XML:

• Click Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Exchange Management.

  Under Geometric Formats, select the Static Tessellation check box. For more information, see Native Apps User Preferences Guide: All Preferences: Social and Collaborative: Global Design Management: Exchange Management: 3D XML.

• Expand Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > 3D Tolerancing & Annotation > Display.

  Under the Tree, clear the Under Geometric Feature nodes and Under View/Annotation Plane nodes check boxes, see Tree.

Important: To export geometrical sets or bodies associated with 3D Tolerancing & Annotation captures, click Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > 3D Tolerancing & Annotation > View/Annotation Plane. Under the Filtering View Display with a Capture area, select the Manage the visibility of product components, bodies and geometrical sets check box.

Thumbnails are automatically created during the export process.

The following thumbnails are created:

• Hide All and Show FTA thumbnails are dedicated to make visible or not annotations contained in the 3D XML document only.

  Keep in mind that in Hide All thumbnail, annotations are just hidden but not swapped to the No Show space.

  Reciprocally, in Show FTA thumbnail, annotations in No Show space are not swapped to the Show space.

• A thumbnail for each View/Annotation Plane contained in the Annotation Set.
• A thumbnails for each Tolerancing Capture contained in the Annotation Set.
